Yes, but the SPEC says
"It is legal to call this method [sendRedirect] with a relative URL path,
however the underlying container must translate the relative path to a fully
qualified URL for transmission back from the client."
Which is unfortunately unclear. I'm ready to vote this one "tomcat bug"
however, given the corroborating evidence from the API documentation.
